Our site owns several domains. About a month ago, our site starting appearing under these other domains. We have never submitted any of these to the Search Engines, so not sure how they got in, in the first place.
Given that no separate site exists for domain2, domain3 etc., can I insert a disallow entry into to the robots.txt file for domain#1?
Disallow: http:www.domain2.com

Nope. The robots.txt file disallows spidering of directories and files for the domain that it is placed on.
There is no way to specify domains using robots.txt except to place the file in the root of the domain in question and put this in the file:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
This will stop the whole domain from being spidered and indexed.
However, with several sites on the same server, that will stop all of the sites being indexed. All of them.
What you require is a site-wide 301 redirect for each of the domains that you do not want to be indexed. That is very simple to set up (the instructions go in the server configuration files) and there are some 300 prior threads in this forum that discuss exactly how to do that...
